2 | Ram Orientation Guide 2014

We are so excited to welcome you to the Ram family. As your elected student body president and vice president, it is our mission to incorporate the student voice into every aspect here at CSU. CSU has so much to offer every incoming student, whether it be academic success, hundreds of different clubs, undergradu-ate research opportunities, or even participation in countless hours of community service around Fort Collins. We challenge you with the idea to take advantage of all of these opportunities at CSU and create your own path towards graduation.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University (ASCSU) is your student government. We serve as your elected representatives between the faculty, admin-istration and student body. Student issues are our highest priority, and through lobbying efforts we address a wide array of issues at the local, state and national levels. In addition, ASCSU oversees the allocation of over $53 million dollars in student fees, which support campus programming, athletics and nearly every aspect of student life on campus.

Throughout the year, we are committed to representing the voice of the stu-dents to our fullest extent. ASCSU will continue to support student organization programming through our Marketing Department and/or through the Board of Student Organization Funding; maintain funding for RamRide to maintain it as the best safe ride program in the country; provide funding for the local bus sys-tem Transfort and the new On-Campus shuttle, which are free to every fee-pay-ing student; and improve the CSU test bank, which holds old exams and study material from past semesters for students to use. We also will work tirelessly to improve campus initiatives such as diversity and increased transparency across the University. We strive to make ASCSU a center for collaboration for all student organizations, advocacy offices, college councils and student services.

We encourage you to take a chance and explore. Explore the new opportunities and events here at CSU such as our annual pep rally, Grill the Buffs, which takes place the first week of school. This a highlight for the beginning of the year, as well as the fall concert. Try a new intramural sport or engage in a faculty com-mittee. There are countless opportunities at CSU for every student to participate in and learn from. As your student government, we’re here to help you do that. ASCSU is committed to making your needs as a student our priority, and repre-senting you to the University’s Administration and the Board of Governors.

Take a chance. Be the change. Don’t waste a moment of your time here. We are always looking for ways to address new students’ concerns and problems; so please feel free to stop and talk at an open forum in the plaza, or stop by the ASCSU office located in the CSU Recreation Center MAC Gym until we move back into the new Lory Student Center and tell us how we can work to make CSU a more enjoyable place!

We wish you all the best in your collegiate career. GO RAMS!

Best,

Samantha Guinn, ASCSU PresidentLance Li Puma, ASCSU Vice President

WELCOMEClass of 2018!

LETTER TO NEW STUDENTS FROM YOUR

ASCSU Representatives

Whether you’re a first-year student or transferring in from another college of university, we hope this orientation will set you on the road to a successful CSU career.

Having been through college orientations with my own daughters in recent years, I know how over-whelming it can be. There’s a lot of information to process, and while we do our best to prepare you for fall semester and the start of classes, you may leave with a little uncertainty and some of your ques-tions still unanswered. Remember, this is just the beginning of an ongoing process of learning about your university and discovering your place here at Colorado State.

One of the first things you’ll discover is that no two students have exactly the same CSU experience. Everyone comes to campus with their own unique background and experiences — and with a personal set of goals, hopes and expectations. What you get

out of your time at CSU depends largely on you and your own choices. Still, this guide contains in-sights and recommendations from students and oth-ers who have found their own ways to be successful here – and it’s a good way to start finding your way around campus and in the community.

I have a unique vantage point as CSU’s president because I get to meet our first-year students at Ram Welcome in the fall as they’re first settling into the residence halls and learning how to get to class through the maze of construction fences. Then, a short four …or five… years later, I get to shake their hands as they receive their diplomas. I am invariably astounded by how much someone can be transformed by the college experience, from an eager if uncertain freshman to a graduate with the confidence to go out, start a career and make a dif-ference in our world.

A lot happens in those intervening years to make

that transformation possible. Your CSU journey is just beginning, and all of us who work on campus — from the faculty members who teach and advise you to the staff members who handle housing, fi-nancial aid, and student services — are here to help you gain the most from your college experience. So if you need our help, just ask. And if you need to know where to get a decent cup of coffee, remember this free guide. It’s your friend.

Have a great summer and orientation — and I look forward to seeing you in the fall at Ram Welcome!

Sincerely,-tony

Dr. Tony Frank

As the only land grant university in the state, CSU plays an important role in providing higher education. Here’s some of the must-know information about the university.

History• Originally established in 1870, Colorado Agricultural College began ac-

cepting students in 1879 as the state’s land grant university. The first year saw a total of 20 students enroll.

• In 1935, the college became Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, and in 1944 the name was changed to Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College. In 1957 the name was changed to Colorado State University by action of the Colorado General Assembly.

Cam the Ram• On Jan. 11, 1946, the CSU men’s pep club organization, the Lancers,

made a surprise appearance during halftime at the Denver University-Colorado A&M basketball game with a 115-pound domestic ram named Buck. Buck wore a blanket made by a local tailor with the words “Aggie Rams” on it. The Lancers organized a contest for students to name the ram, offering a $5 prize. William Simpson won the con-test, naming the ram “CAM” for Colorado Agricultural and Mechani-cal College.

• Twenty-two Rambouillet sheep have served as CAM the Ram, and dozens of dedicated CSU students have worked as ram handlers.

Veterinary Studies• The CSU vet school is ranked third in the nation by U.S. News and

World Report.

Finances • CSU is considered one of the leading research universities in the coun-

try. It attracts about $300 million in research funding annually.• A 2013-14 total budget of $952.5 million.• Average undergraduate tuition and fees for 2013-2014 are $9,313 for

Colorado residents.• Average undergraduate tuition and fees are $25,166 for nonresidents.

Colleges• College of Agricultural Sciences• College of Applied Human Sciences• College of Business• College of Engineering• College of Liberal Arts• College of Natural Sciences• College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences• Warner College of Natural Resources

Student Life• 563 student organizations.• 33 honor societies.• 14 percent of the student population participates in intramural sports.

Enrollment• About 22,425 undergraduate students, 3,800 graduate students and 550

Professional Veterinary Medicine students.• Students attend from every state; 78 percent are Colorado residents.• 16 percent of students are ethnic minorities.• The average entering freshman ranks in the 73rd percentile of their high

school class, brings a 3.57 grade-point average, and has an ACT compos-ite score of 24.8 or an SAT combined score of 1,143.

Athletics• A member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at

the Division I Level — Mountain West Conference.• Sponsors 16 intercollegiate sports programs.

CSU 101Information Every Ram Should Know

Faculty• About 1,600 faculty members.• Student-faculty ratio is 17 to 1.


To be a CSU Ram means more than attending Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Being a CSU Ram means you bring out your school spirit in light of the annual Rocky Mountain Showdown between the Rams and the CU Buffs. It means sporting green and gold, and occasionally orange, around campus among other students that do the same. It means you revel in the awesomeness of Tony Frank’s beard, even though you may not un-derstand what’s so great about it. It means you cher-ish the surrounding Fort Collins area and its natural beauty, looking for every excuse possible to be outdoors hiking Horsetooth. It’s going to see a local musician perform at the Aggie Theater or Hodi’s Half Note. It’s going to the Holiday Twin Drive-In theater on a late summer evening for a double feature and an experience from the past. It’s having a study date at Alley Cat or a late night food run

to DP Dough or Cheba Hut. It’s participating in a fundraiser by eating at Café Mexicali. It’s singing the fight song during a riveting sporting event that gets the entire school to turn out at Moby Arena. It’s taking a picture with CAM the Ram to get it off the “70 Things To Do Before you Graduate” list. It’s participating in school traditions such as the Undie Run and hiking up to paint the “A” that overlooks the campus with Hughes Stadium right below it. It’s pulling an all-nighter in the Cube outside the library. It’s spending warm afternoons on the Oval studying with friends or tossing a Frisbee around on the IM fields. It’s the beautiful sunrises you are up early enough to watch as the sun rises over campus, or the sunsets you are fortunate enough to watch from your window as the sun dips behind the mountains in the near distance. It means chanting “I’m proud to be a CSU Ram” at any given moment

with your peers. It means giving back to the Fort Collins community through CSUnity. It means participating in Fort Collins events like Tour de Fat and NewWestFest. It’s finding your niche in your major and translating it into extracurricular clubs to make a mark.

Being a CSU Ram isn’t just about going to Colo-rado State University; it’s about what it means to be a resident of Fort Collins and taking in all it has to offer. Fort Collins is a unique community that is just as much Colorado as it is an interactive college town. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to go to school in northern Colorado with the moun-tains at our fingertips and Denver within an hour’s drive. That’s what it truly means to be a CSU Ram, and everyone, including the newcomers, know that.

Q. What are some of the commonly broken bike laws?A. � e three most common are running a stop sign, riding in a dismount zone and not having a headlight at nights.

Q. What are the ranges of possible penalties?A. � e range is from $15- $75 with the most common at $25.

Q. What should students be aware of when they’re biking on campus?A. Be it campus or not campus, bikes are considered vehicles in the state of Colorado so a bicyclist must follow all the same laws as if they were driving a car.

Q. Where are tickets paid?A. Tickets are paid at the front desk of the CSU Police Department in Green Hall.

Q. When and where do students need to regis-ter their bikes?A. Bikes are registered at the front desk of the CSU Police Department in Green Hall between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Q. Are there any other important pieces of information students should know?A. Be courteous and considerate when riding on campus; there are a lot of people walking, riding and driving in one small area. Follow the laws and make sure you register your bike and read the booklet the police department gives you!

Bicycling offers a fun and convenient way to get around the CSU campus. Cycling creates no pollution, improves your health and provides a flexible commuting option. Bicycles are easy and cheap to maintain, especially compared to an automobile, and there are bike racks located all across campus.

Joy Childress, Traffi c and Bicycle Education and Enforcement Pro-gram coordinator at the CSU Police Department, answered a few com-monly asked questions about biking on campus. She emphasized that new students must register their bikes and that uniformed police offi cers patrol campus to enforce all traffi c laws.

Since the summer of 2013, the Lory Student Center has been under construction at CSU, leav-ing many of the LSC’s services relocated and much of the building inaccessible. Soon enough, those features are expected to return and new ones to be introduced.

According to LSC Marketing Director Doni Luc-kutt, the grand reopening is scheduled to take place in the fall, and the main focus of the revitalization project has been to give the student center a facelift with upgrades students are sure to be excited about.

“� ere’s going to be a lot more natural light in this new design,” Luckutt said. “A lot of people come

to Colorado just because of the nature. � is way, students can feel more like they’re outdoors when they’re in the new LSC.”

� e building is 50 years old and was in needed to be more up-to-date with the code, mechanics and effi ciency of the modern era, according to Luckutt. Luckutt said the updated center is LEED-certifi ed.

“We don’t live in the same world as we did in the 1950s or the 1960s,” Luckutt said.

Spaces are to be dedicated to specifi c individuals — such as quotes by past university presidents — and fountains, a fi replace and a microbrewery will become integrated into the LSC as well, Luckutt

said.“� e interests of students have been included in

everything throughout this whole process,” Luckutt said. “� e new fermentation program through the College of Health and Human Sciences will be able to use the microbrew, like restaurant and tourism uses Aspen Grille.”

Indeed, the makeover at the Lory Student Center is a truly student-centered endeavor, and as distant as the future once seemed for its arrival, the past before revitalization is soon to become a distant memory.

DORM ESSENTIALSThere are dozens of lists out there saying what you

should bring to college, but they don’t tell you the little things you need once you get there and are liv-

ing in the dorms. Here are some of the things that are unspoken essentials for any college freshman:

HDMI CORD

There will be a countless number of times when you will want to watch a movie with friends on a TV rather than a computer. An HDMI cord is an effortless way to hook up your laptop to the TV without needing a DVD player. They can be found inex-pensively and are worth the price.

CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY

Well, maybe this isn’t an essential, but it is a great game for bonding with your floormates. If you don’t know what Cards Against Human-ity is, it’s similar to Apples to Apples but dirtier. It can be found for $25 on Amazon and offers six additional expansion packs. It’s the perfect game to play on a night in. If you don’t end up purchasing it, chances are some-one else on the floor will have it.

COMMAND STRIPS

The dorms have a strict policy against using picture hanging hooks to hang things on the walls. They don’t want excessive holes punched in the wall. Picture-hanging strips from Com-mand are a great alternative for hang-ing up wall art and bulletin boards. They act similar to Velcro, where you attach one side to the object and the other to the wall and stick both sides together. They are sturdy enough to hang framed photos and they come off clean without taking the paint off the walls.

Forks, spoons, knives, paper towels, paper plates, cups — all are good essentials to keep in your dorm room. You never know when you are going to need basic cutlery. It seems like a no-brainer to have these, but you would be surprised how many people overlook these items until they find themselves needing them.

BASIC CUTLERY

It seems like common sense to bring one to college, especially if you are planning on taking advantage of the hot tub and saunas at the Rec Center (highly recommended). Even if you didn’t use one much at home, you never know if you are going to need it for a last minute pool party or a spontaneous trip to a hot springs in the mountains.

BATHING SUIT

These are essential if you live in a dorm room where the bathroom area and the room area are separated by a doorway. Curtains are great if your roommate has to get up early and get ready while you want to sleep in. The same goes if you come in late at night. Definitely an essential if your dorm has the bathroom facilities inside the room.

You’re drunk, it’s 2 a.m. and you have no ride home. Call your mom? Not an option. Call a cab? You’re broke. � e solu-tion? RamRide — a free, safe, no-ques-tions-asked ride home after a night out.

Started in October of 2003, this student-run program operates � ursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

It works like this: a student calls the RamRide number, (970) 491-3333, gives their whereabouts and home address to the dispatcher. � e dispatcher then gets that student on a waiting list for the nearest RamRide driver to pick them up and take them home. RamRide can provide rides for up to fi ve students per car.

As a volunteer, you will be working as a dispatcher, driver or navigator starting at 8:30 p.m.

To volunteer, head down to the Ram-Ride offi ce located at in the lower lobby of the Lory Student Center across from Cam’s Lobby Shop. You can also volunteer online at www.ramride.colostate.edu or

email [email protected] gives students an opportu-

nity to make connections with their CSU community and keeps 1,000 people off the roads each night by giving them a safe, free ride. RamRide fulfi lls community service hours and also recently began incentivizing student organizations with a $1000 gift if they bring 30 volunteers for one night of operation.

RamRide gives roughly less than 2,500 rides each semester, and can only continue to operate as long as more people continue to volunteer.

Due to lack of volunteers and vehicles, the average waiting time for RamRide is 41.5 minutes. Phone lines can be jammed, and it can be frustrating.

Because of this, RamRide is developing a iPhone and Android compatible Smart-phone dispatcher app. � e app allows users to get in the queue right from their phone, using their GPS coordinates to match the nearest RamRide vehicle.

Best Places On Campus to

SNOOZE It’s 12:50 p.m. You just got out of class and have a one-hour break. You

can barely keep your eyes open. Look no further: from the Morgan Library to the Oval, CSU has several great spots to take a quick on-campus nap when you need it most.

The OvalThis landmark of CSU’s campus is located just south of the intersection

of Laurel Street and Howes Street. It provides ample outdoor napping space as a 2,065-foot expanse. The soft grass acts as a comfy bed and the large trees offer plenty of shade.

Monfort Quad This field is located between the Plant Science and Animal Sciences build-

ings, east of the Clark Building. Grass and several benches outline the quad for multiple napping options. Not quite as busy as the Oval or the LSC, the quad may offer a quieter napping venue.

Morgan LibraryLocated at the south end of the LSC Plaza, the library is centrally located

on campus and convenient for a quick nap. At 100,100 square feet, the napping possibilities are endless. Each of the three floors plus the basement offers different styles and selections of couches and chairs.

Lawn between Eddy Hall and EducationIn the middle of these two buildings sits another green expanse. Though

smaller than the Oval and Monfort Quad, the lawn is a good napping op-tion for students with classes on the south end of campus. Shade, trees and benches are dispersed around the grass.

Sororities and Fraternities at CSU

By Ricki WatkinsCollege Avenue Magazine

Students interested in becoming more involved in the CSU community might consider joining one of the 37 recognized fraternity or sorority chapters at CSU.

Greek Life gives students the opportunity to meet new people and foster long-lasting relationships, while also giving back to the community through philanthropy events. This tight-knit community of over 2,000 indi-viduals helps make campus feel a little smaller by uniting a diverse group of people over common interests, ideals and values.

Students interested in joining a sorority or fraternity can learn more during rush, which is when new brothers and sisters are recruited. This gives students the opportu-nity to learn more about each house before deciding on their best fit.

Listed are the Greek Life chapter recognized by CSU.

missedopportunities What seniors wish they did as freshmen

By Hunter Goddard� e Rocky Mountain Collegain

Key Communities Key was founded specifi cally to help

fi rst-year students transition from high school to college through a di-verse learning community at Braiden Hall. Upperclassmen peer mentors help groups of 20 or so students each create scholarly and social bonds. Key is made up of the following commu-nities:

• Key Academic (emphasizes schoolwork)

• Key Service (stresses commu-nity service)

• Key Explore (geared toward undeclared students)

• Key Health Professions (special-ized for pre-med freshmen)

Second-year students, on-campus or off -, can still choose to participate in Key Plus. Key students, on average, earn a higher GPA than the CSU

Hiking up to the “A”It is a tradition during Ram Wel-

come for fi rst-year students to take the bus up to the “A” for Aggies, which overlooks the campus lagoon, and hike to a ledge where they can throw the rocks they collected and named off the lagoon shore at orientation.

It is a rite of passage, a way for the � underbirds, the Wildcats, the War-riors, or whatever you were in high school, to all let go of your diff erences and to become Rams. It is simply not the same if you do it later than that transitional period between senior year of high school and freshman year of college.

Ram Welcome CarnivalAs tempting as it is to go and hide

in the fi rst room you have ever had to yourself as an independent adult, step outside of your dorm room, get to know people, and make some new friends at as many Ram Welcome events as you can attend.

First Year Peer Mentoring Program

� e FYPMP is a diversity of clubs, with freshmen as members, sopho-mores and upperclassmen as mentors, and faculty as facilitators. Whichever club you choose meets throughout the fall semester, but the friendships you forge are sure to last forever. Visit http://www.otp.colostate.edu/fy-fymp-mentoring.aspx.

Global Village CommunityGlobal Village, located in Parmelee

Hall, is a learning community that welcomes domestic and international students alike who value global aware-ness. A Global Village Peer Mentor on the fl oor will assist international stu-dents in their transition. Go to http://www.globalvillage.lc.colostate.edu/.

University Honors ProgramHonors students have the option to

live together in either Edwards Hall or Academic Village and surround themselves with peers who are a cut above the rest of the campus, academ-ically. Honors students have access to personalized advising, discussion seminars, scholarships, and more.

If interested, check out http://www.honors.colostate.edu/home.

You only get one fi rst year of college, so make sure your freshman year sets the tone for the rest of your college career in a good way. When it comes time to graduate, do it with pride instead of with regret, and take advantage of these chances while you still can.

average, and, when surveyed, are more satisfi ed with their time at CSU over-all. Learn more at the Key website: http://keycommunities.lc.colostate.edu/.


How to Get Around Fort Collins By Alexa Phillips

College Avenue Magazine

Many first year students without a car struggle to get around town. Not to worry, Fort Collins has great alternatives. Here are some ways you can get around Fort Collins without a car:

Transfort Thanks to ASCSU, CSU students have access

to Transfort, the bus system that services the Fort Collins area as part of their student fees. Within Transfort, there are 25 different routes, taking you anywhere from Old Town to City Park and vari-ous other locations around Fort Collins. The buses run from around 6 a.m. to about 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with many of the routes stopping at the CSU Transit Center, located outside the Lory Student Center. Included is the FLEX bus, which runs from Fort Collins to Longmont. For more information about routes and schedules, visit http://www.ridetransfort.com/.

Biking Fort Collins is a major

biking city, and you can get just about anywhere on and off campus with a bike. If public trans-portation is not for you, invest in a bike, as it can help you get to class and beyond, without the need to depend on public transportation. Not to mention is it is very eco-friendly!

Zipcar For those unfamiliar with Zipcar, it is a

rental car service where you pay hourly for use; gas and insurance is included in the price. In order to join, you pay an annual membership fee of $25 and it allows you access to the three Zipcars CSU has on campus. This is great op-tion if you want your own flexibility of having a car without paying to sustain one on campus. Bonus: these are available 24 hours a day. To sign up or find out more, check out http://www.zipcar.com/colostate.

Around the HornThis is CSU’s new cross-cam-

pus shuttle service. The shuttle makes 13 stops at select points around campus. It is being implemented at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year to help reduce campus traffic. The route begins at Moby Arena, continues around The Oval and ends at the Lake Street Garage, stopping at the University Station to align with the MAX bus.

This is a new bus system that runs up and down the Mason Street Corridor, stopping at Midtown, CSU and Down-town. MAX links with other Transfort bus routes, bike/pedestrian trail systems, and other regional routes to provide effortless transportation for the residents of Fort Collins. For CSU students, the MAX pickup location is at the University Street Station.

If you are ever in need of legal advice dur-ing your years at CSU, look no further than the CSU Student Legal Services. A resource free to students taking six or more credits, Student Legal Services provides confi dential and non-judgmental advice to students on a variety of issues, from landlord-tenant disputes to criminal charges.

“It is the one time in students’ lives when they can consult an attorney about an is-sue bothering them that they think has a legal component,” said Kathleen Harward, Director of Student Legal Services. “With three very experienced attorneys, we can help with most every kind of legal issue, and if we can’t, we point students to other resources.”

Here, Harward addresses the conse-quences of and policies related to certain legal issues new students may encounter as they test and experiment with the bounds of their newfound freedom.

By Ricki WatkinsCollege Avenue Magazine

Marijuana“Marijuana possession, transfer and use is still illegal under federal law for all ages. Under

Colorado law, it is illegal for those under 21 and illegal in any public place. Marijuana is not allowed in the residence halls, and housing staff are trained to confront any smell or other evidence of marijuana, with assistance from CSU police. � ough not guaranteed, on a fi rst of-fense a student might receive an internal CSU citation rather than a court citation. All suspected violations require a mandatory appearance before a university hearing offi cer who enforces the Student Conduct Code. CSU consequences can include suspension, probation, and mandatory classes and drug treatment.

An important detail not realized by many: Convictions for marijuana off enses interfere with a student’s fi nancial aid and international travel.”

Underage Drinking“MIP or MIC: Minor in possession or minor in consumption by one under 21. A fi rst off ense

carries a fi ne of $250, 24 hours of useful public service and an alcohol evaluation and education or treatment program. On a second off ense, the fi ne goes up to $500 and you lose your driver’s license for six months. A third off ense is charged as a class 2 misdemeanor with a fi ne up to $1000, jail up to one year, and loss of driver’s license for one year. Alcohol is not allowed in the residence halls and, like in the case of marijuana, staff is trained to confront all violations and call upon assistance from police. University sanctions can include suspension, probation, and mandatory classes and treatment program. First off enses might be charged as an internal CSU ticket rather than a court ticket but this is not guaranteed.”

Fake ID“Campus and city police offi cers can and do charge fake ID off enses as misdemeanors or even

felonies. Is trying to get into the bars worth the prospect of a permanent criminal record for a crime of deceit that will cause employers to pass you over? On a related note, you are required to truthfully identify yourself if asked by a police offi cer, and you should never lie about your age or identity. Beyond that, you are not required to admit wrongdoing or even speak to police. You should always be polite with police, but should always remember you have the right to remain silent.”

DUIs“Drivers under the age of 21 commit “underage drinking and driving” with an alcohol level of

only .02, which could be as little as one drink. Dealing with DUIs at any age is extremely costly and burdensome, involving high fi nes and attorney’s fees, mandatory jail time depending on alcohol levels and repeat off enses, loss of driver’s license, expensive interlock systems for a period of time after driving privilege is restored, and community service. � e best rule for students is don’t drive after drinking any amount. Use completely sober designated drivers, RamRide (run by CSU students), and taxi cabs. Or walk — in safe numbers!

Driving under the infl uence of marijuana is also illegal.”

Fourth Amendment Rights“Your dorm room is your castle according to the Supreme Court. You have the right to be

free from unreasonable searches and seizures in your castle. You are not required to answer your door and you are not required to consent to searches by police or RAs. It may be wise to exercise those rights to keep from exposing alcohol or marijuana and guaranteeing yourself a criminal ticket. However, keep in mind there are exceptions to the requirement of a search warrant which will allow the police and RAs to enter if there is a safety concern or “exigent circumstances.” In all cases, a student suspected of violating alcohol policy must face a university hearing offi cer and university sanctions if the hearing offi cer believes the student is “more likely than not” to have violated policy.”
